Top Experiences

White Coffee Tasting

This is the home of original white coffee. For Malaysians, it is not just “coffee.” There is a lot of history holding it together. During the Qing dynasty, the Hainanese came to Nanyang with the hopes of mining jobs but then began to create this frothy, sweetened, milk extract coffee.

The Mulu Cave, Sarawak  
This (Gua Mulu) is said to be the largest cave in the world. It is located in Miri on the island of Borneo and is a World Heritage Site. You have to have a licensed tour operator to inch into the cave via “The Head-hunter’s Trail.”

Malaysia does not come under the countries which have problems with tourists during this time. It is not a compulsion to follow it, and restaurants owned by non-Muslims remain open.

They carry the most delectable delicacies, and it is a great experience to behold.
